The start to the much-awaited IPL 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Chinnaswamy Stadium has been delayed because of heavy rains. Notably, the toss was delayed as it is currently pouring down heavily and dark clouds loom over the stadium. 

The rain has got the fans worried as a win against KKR would have seen RCB qualifying for the playoffs, becoming the first team to do so in IPL 2025. Now with rain pouring down at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, this article will look at RCB's qualification scenario if the match gets washed out.


What Happens To RCB If Match vs KKR Gets Abandoned?

It is worth noting that in case of a washed out game, RCB will get a point and it will take their tally to 17 points in 12 matches and will sit on the top of the table. While, RCB will sit on top of the table, it won't guarantee a qualification to the playoffs as the Rajat Patidar-led side would still have to secure a win in their next two matches. Nonetheless, a point will still be crucial for the Challengers and with that they will put a foot in the playoffs.

Notably, RCB will next face LSG and CSK, which are their two remaining fixtures. Further, they have an advantage as Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians, and Delhi Capitals, who are the 3rd, 4th, and 5th placed team in this season, are set to play against each other in the upcoming days. 

Nonetheless, the fans will pray for the match to happen as a win against KKR would have secured RCB's qualification for the playoffs and also it would have resulted in KKR getting knocked out of IPL.
